Confronting Ebola

On social media friends related to a young woman were seeking information on ambulance services for the husband who needed immediate attention.  No one had answers. 
The young woman reportedly drove the husband to the nearest hospital but on arrival nurses refused to attend to her husband for fear of contracting ebola. 

Clearly traumatized this young woman, simply kept screaming for help until eventually a doctor came out ..... to pronounce the husband dead.  She was then asked to carry her corpse away. She did find the courage to do just that and found a health facility in one of Accra's suburbs that received the corpse.

This was August 13, 2014 and the young woman is now a widow with a soon to be one year old. But those are just the sorry details. Angry friends on the social media platform called the medical personnel who refused to attend to the dead man, "unpatriotic" Ghanians who were only interested in the benefits of their jobs. 

But were the medical personnel being unjustifiably insensitive or even "wicked" as they were called or were they plainly and legitimately afraid.

Some have suggested that the Ghana government's 3 month moratorium on international conferences and public gatherings is unnecessarily harsh.  I think the government's response is no different from that of the nurses and the doctor who would have nothing; or is rather are helpless when it comes to handling anything to do with ebola- real or potential.
